Seb Larsson’s exit from Hull City could be confirmed this afternoon as Swedish club AIK prepare to announce they have captured the veteran midfielder ahead of the World Cup finals.

Reports from Sweden this morning suggest Larsson has agreed a two-and-a-half-year deal, with a press conference called by the Stockholm club for 3pm UK time.

The 33-year-old has been offered a 12-month deal to stay at the KCOM Stadium but the lure of a homecoming appears to have dashed Nigel Adkins’ hopes of retaining Larsson.

City have already seen key figures Allan McGregor, Michael Dawson and Abel Hernandez turn down the chance to stay in East Yorkshire since the Championship season finished last month, while David Meyler has also been released on a free transfer.
